#OnThisDay 1918 Michael Collins was charged for making a seditious speech in Longford & was remanded in Sligo Gaol for three weeks. Having been arrested outside his office on Bachelor’s Walk, Dublin, he was transported to Longford by train where he was met by a huge cheering and waving crowd. He called the proceedings a “farce” & declared “I do not enter into bail with blackguards & tyrants”.
He finally gave bail & went on the run.

Hi,
I'm David, I'm from Ireland. I am an avid fan of history. I have my B.A. in History, my M.A. in Military History and Strategic Studies,a Post Qualification Diploma in History and I've been teaching History for five years now.
I wanted to create a podcast that examines, in great detail, major Irish battles and battles allover the world in various wars that Irish people played a significant part in.
Hope you enjoy.
